I am getting a 17/18 set of Bronze GT-C's, but there was a mistake made when they were ordered.

The company (good guys so far, working very well with me) ordered a set of GT-C's in 36mm, I asked if these were the more concave looking ones. They said the 36mm were for people who have big brake kits or extremely lowered cars. I could have them now if I wanted or wait for the 43mm (what they believe the right offset is) to come in.

So I ask what does everyone else have?

46mm?

or

36mm?

Should I get the 36mm now or wait for the 43mm?

The Concaveness has nothing to do with the 36mm or the 43mm. It is the "Face" Type. For the GT-C there are "Face-1" and "Face-2"

I have no idea what wheel width you wanted to use but I'll assume that you were looking at 17x7 front and 18x10 rear. Use this as a guide to help your decision:

He has the same "Face-1" front & back (note, no curvature difference in the spokes).

This guy seems to have the two different "Faces" front and back. Face-1 front, Face-2 back (note the slight curvature of the spokes on the back wheel):
